ROUAULT Georges. (1871-1958).
Autograph MANUSCRIT, To Gustave Moreau, followed by the partly autograph manuscript of 3 letters to Armand DAYOT (1925)| 3 and 8 pages in4, with numerous erasures and corrections.
Prose poem in memory of Gustave MOREAU, extensively crossed out and corrected: "I lent my ear like the diligent servant to the voice of the long-deceased spiritual father.
Smile Surrealist, go and praise your time, life, nature and progress.
Anyone who hasn't tasted legendary perfume and incense can't live, think or dream [...].
You don't criticize art, you either love it or hate it [...].
Leave the old and the dead in peace
Afraid to see them rise
And may we at last come to look
To better know and love their raised works
Pygmies do yourselves no harm".
The letters to Armand Dayot (three pages of which are entirely autographed, the rest in Isabelle Rouault's hand, abundantly crossed out and corrected by Rouault) bear precious witness to Gustave MOREAU, who took Rouault to see the Poussins and Lorrain at the Louvre: "He shows me the science of composition, the subtle degradations of atmosphere"... He recounts these visits, and remembers the "ingenious insights of our dear master at the beginning of the Impressionist triumph, and without any bias on his part against this effort, but always an enemy of a mad temporary enthusiasm for novelty, he warned us against fashions and above all the followers of a successful movement". The series of articles Dayot asked him to write took the form of letters to André Suarès, "such an understanding artist. When I got to know him, even though I had no great admiration for G. Moreau's painting, he understood what a brain he was, what a sensibility he put at the service of art". He recounts the generosity of his master's friend, Henri RUPP, "who donated everything he had inherited from Gustave Moreau, over 300,000 francs, for the upkeep of the museum"... His aim, "is to make my master known in his true light and not by borrowed or distorted words, to defend hidden particular interests"... Etc.
Attached is a file of copies (by Isabelle Rouault) of letters from Gustave Moreau and Henri Rupp to Georges Rouault.
